... because now that it's possible, someone's gonna ask for it. Credit to Geti for making it possible, CaveCricket48 for using a better method than I was planning to, and DataProm for making the sprites I liberally rip off in mods.

Might be Prom. I dunno if all current sprites are Prom's, but I think a good portion of them are.
I like the death ray though. It reminds me of TD's Uber Cannon. I loved that mod.
You have my download, indeed.

Awesome
Dl'd...

Also, does it fire a "unlimited lenght" ray (in a way that you can kill yourself in some maps) or does it fire a "short range" ray. If it's unlimited.. Well, i just found my new snipa rifle.

The only currently ingame sprite made by Data is the top of the Coalition's head sans helmet.

Though perhaps not something I'd use regularly, this stands as a pretty good example of how Geti's "multi-barrel" example might be put to good use. It's certainly pretty cool in concept.

It's not unlimited, but it's pretty far. I've killed myself in the back with it... while underground.

- Oh, and the actual damage of the ray ranges from kills-basically-anything at the center to harmless at the edges, which results in arrow shaped holes.

I made a similar weapon recently which has equally strong particles from top to bottom and it also makes arrow shaped holes...

something isn't right here

Right, because someone couldn't possibly make something in parallel with you without ripping you off, right? If you're that suspicious run it through a diff tool before you post something as absurd as that.

Nice work, Solace, you've got my download.

What are you talking about?
I was talking about how an equally strong from top to bottom version that also makes arrow shaped holes
I wasnt compaining about him ripping me off, we just happened to have made the same thing independently

Does the outward beam on the equal-strength have any velocity loss?

Actually I just realized that the hole wasn't square because it knocked some pixels loose from the terrain which fell into the hole making it pointed.

So, if you make the particles have negative mass and lower the range and mass, you could make a tractor beam? I've been waiting to pull dropships back down.

I forget if negative mass works that way.
It might.
Might one make a cannon with a wave-shaped blast (see: every top-down shmup ever) using this method?
If so, epicawesomesauceness.

I'll have to try this later, If the maker of this mod would allow me to use it as a baseline.

There's already a number of guns like this (heck, I made one); the main problem is that the things in the game currently don't work all that well with weird directions of force. Actors sometimes get pulled but more often get gibbed, dropships spin at the drop of a hat, and rockets are I guess massively heavy and tend to ignore it.

EDIT: Heck, sure; for that matter give me a few seconds and I'll whip up an antigrav version.
